second chance computer scam
Cars & Trucks March 8th, 2008
This is to help others to NOT be taken as I was, by a scam artist. I had bid on a computer I really wanted and lost bid by a few dollars. I then recieved a day later a… Second chance to buy the computer as the winner had reneged on his bid. ( so the e.mail said ) I was to buy this computer ONLY via E.bay and recieved an e.mail purportedly from E.Bay security stating that this seller was Very reliable and that E.Bay would guarantee the transaction. Well It was a scam and Like a fool I sent $1200.00 via western union, never to be seen again and of course NO computer. I was mortified that I could be fooled like that but the E.Bay e.mails looked so very correct and were very real looking. It took me a whole year before I could even get myself to access E,bay again.
Everyone, please, please be aware of this scam and NEVER take notice of second chance offers. Better to be safe rather than sorry no matter how much you want the item.
